Episode 834
Masters of the Three Worlds (9)
Those who are marginalized Those who have lived ignored.
What does it mean to simply take advantage of the power of such people?
“Do you know why the master of the empire has feudal lords?”
“….”
“Because I know that I cannot rule the entire empire alone.”
Moyong-gun tapped the table with his index finger.
“The same goes for the Murim Alliance. “The power of this martial arts alliance, the White Island Murim Alliance, has clearly reached the peak in the world, but do you really think there will be a faction of the martial arts faction that will not suffer at all from the martial arts alliance’s handling of affairs?”
“Of course not.”
“You wouldn’t think so, but you don’t know how many there are. “You’re such a busy person.”
I wasn’t being sarcastic. It was just stating the truth.
“Military capabilities are outstanding, but as humans, there are limits. To make up for that limitation, we have gathered together workers, but half of them are wall-to-wall workers who only cry for consensus and justice. “I don’t know about administration and governance.”
“Moyonggaju.”
“You don’t really know me. However, this time, I realized this after participating in the hearing on the issue of marriage equality. “Half of them are not qualified to sit here.”
Zhuge Wenho’s face hardened.
“This is excessive language.”
“It’s just the two of us. Do you need to be careful? All you have to do is be patient with the soldiers who listen.”
“….”
“The important thing is that because of the people at the top of the Meng, things are handled slowly and unclearly, and there are more sects that are harmed than expected.”
Zhuge Wenhu could not help but agree with those words. Personally, that was the part I found most frustrating about the Bonggongs.
The existence of a strong and decisive Murim lord was what he wanted more than anyone else.
“And I tried to turn those feudal lords to my side one by one and become the Murim lord.”
“…!”
“In addition, the weak people gathered in Gangseo were the political funds and majority of the election votes that I had accumulated so that they could support me when the leadership election began.”
“…It was like that.”
Zhuge Wenhu was once again surprised by Mo Yong’s thoroughness.
And rather than its thoroughness, I was appalled by the immorality that crossed the line so freely and the blind ambition toward a dream.
“In other words, for the head of the Moyong family, the slow and unclear meeting of the servants was actually an opportunity.”
“exactly.”
It was an honest admission. He even went one step further.
“I postponed the agenda of the meeting several times. “I was trying to tell you that it was an important issue.”
“…!”
“The longer I delay in processing the work of the workers, the more I become the one who knowingly or unknowingly leads the atmosphere, and the more marginalized people there are who support me!”
“….”
“I had no doubt that I would get closer to becoming the Murim Lord.”
Zhuge Wenhu swallowed his saliva.
Moyong-gun, who was looking down at his glass, took a sip of his drink.
“As expected, it’s bitter.”
“Then…”
“….”
“You haven’t given up your position as Murim Lord, so why do you want to leave? “What are you planning to do with the power gathered in Gangseo?”
“why? Are you afraid that I will gather all my strength and attack the Murim Alliance?”
“….”
“Haha, the soldier is easier to understand than you think.”
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“I helped the Murim Alliance become much bigger than it is now, and I will never attack this place.”
“So how…!”
“I am not the right person to be a Murim lord.”
“…yes?”
Moyong-gun smiled.
At that moment, Zhuge Liang felt himself crying.
It is clear that he is a heartless, cruel, and ruthless person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
The smile that Mo Yong was making right now was strangely touching people’s hearts.
“How great of an organization do you think the current Murim Alliance will be when I become its leader?”
“That’s something no one knows.”
“Of course it is. “If nothing had happened to me, I might still have been making a fuss to get to that position.”
“What happened?”
“Three Bridges.”
“…!”
“How long do you think it will take to change the Murim Alliance to my liking? one year? This b*tch? That’s nonsense. Even if we estimate it less, it will take ten years. “In the meantime, we have to hold another election and seek a second term.”
“….”
“Even if I change my tastes, how many people will trust me and follow me?”
This is the part.
This was the part where Moyong-gun’s change was most clearly revealed.
Moyong, who only saw his own abilities, is finally turning his gaze to his surroundings and trying to see people.
If I don’t change myself, the world I see won’t change either. Mr. Moyong reflected on himself, going through repeated mental shocks that made him think of suicide, and eventually changed ‘me’.
My changed eyes changed my martial arts skills and changed my perspective. As the ‘perspective’ of seeing changed, the world seen also changed.
That was the current Moyong-gun.
Even with his smart mind and insight, he ran blindly without thinking about what came first, but now he has begun to reflect on himself and figure out what comes first.
“I put the first button on wrong. “It was like that both personally and publicly.”
“….”
“There is no longer a place for me in this Murim Alliance.”
“Moyonggaju.”
“I thought I knew politics, but all I knew was tactics. “Tearing, killing, breaking, and destroying the other person.”
“….”
“As a schemer, he was capable of getting a passing grade, but he didn’t know anything about real politics.”
“…You mean real politics?”
“exactly. “Real politics.”
“What is real politics?”
“I don’t know.”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“It seems ironic that you would ask someone who doesn’t know anything about politics what politics really is.”
“….”
“I only understand one of the functions of politics.”
“What is that?”
“It’s a win-win situation.”
Zhuge Linzhu’s eyelids fluttered.
“Sangsaeng….”
“I reached out to powerless clans and unconnected high-ranking countries. “I wanted to make them mine because they wanted to advance to the central region but had no connections and couldn’t easily leave because of their karma.”
“….”
“It may be hard to believe, but I treated them well in my own way. A descendant of a family scolded me, asking why I treated them so well and why the Murim Alliance was like this, but it was natural to me. “Because they were my real strength.”
“….”
“If the Murim Alliance had played its role, such people would not have existed.”
“…you’re right.”
“And I, too, would have collapsed from anxiety if it weren’t for them.”
Moyong smiled bitterly.
“I was actually receiving strength from the weak who I looked down on.”
Truth is simple and obvious.
I didn’t want to admit it, but once I did, I took things for granted. I didn’t look at simple things as complicated.
“What do you think?”
“…What do you mean?”
“Do you think I can integrate them well and create a great force?”
“The forces have already been formed, right?”
“Oh, I guess I didn’t say this.”
Moyong shrugged his shoulders.
“I am not going as the head of the small and medium-sized faction alliance that is not part of the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu.”
“yes?!”
“I’m going to unite them. In the first place, I have no intention of starting as the leader of the alliance.”
“Then…?!”
“You will be recognized.”
“…!!”
“I want to appoint the first owner of the union as a thoughtful, strong, and wise young man. “I want to learn from and enrich myself by looking at wise men of a different generation than me.”
“Gaju Moyong….”
“I want to learn more and realize more. “I know that my martial arts skills will also rise only when I understand the world.”
Grrr.
The alcohol filling the glass made a clear sound.
“If the weak truly want me, the day will come when they will recognize that my ability and insight are not lacking as a leader.”
“….”
“At that time, I will happily become the head of the new organization and take over the position of Murim Lord.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes turned red.
Although he was a man who had committed such a cruel and unforgivable crime, his eyes and nose were cold.
After gaining enlightenment, Moyong will no longer live in greed. Because I know it’s not right.
It was not because of moral issues. It was because I began to know the world and people.
Although I achieved great enlightenment, I lived a life that was immersed in that enlightenment.
No matter how much I chase away my worries, how can I feel good at this moment when I give up my lifelong dream?
Although he was smiling, Zhuge Wenhu could tell. Moyong-gun’s insides are rotting away.
After being recognized by everyone, are you going to take over the position of Murim lord?
It would be nice to actually become that kind of person. But there is no guarantee that such a day will come. This is because I came to want a position that was recognized by people rather than a position that I could achieve through my own efforts.
Prince Moyong sent a sailboat, with the goal of setting his life on fire, into the stormy sea.
He was filled with remorse and left, shedding bloody tears.
“The martial arts they learned are the visions of the Jinju Eon family. Please don’t mistake us for being a bunch of people who have trained in other martial arts skills.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
“They have been raising funds for me to become the Murim Lord for over twenty years. “The money will go back to them, so please understand that it is not wealth accumulated through fraud.”
“All right. “I know that.”
With these words, Zhuge Mun-ho was able to understand the intention of Mo Yong-gun, who recognized that the force was clearly a subordinate organization of the Murim Alliance.
Although it is a lower level organization, like the owner of an empire with lords, the region will be well governed by a coalition of small and medium-sized factions. All he wanted to do was acknowledge that he was a reliable subordinate and ally who would not take a different path.
“It would be better to send someone at the blind level. Because it’s more certain. “You will need a clear guarantee that you will walk the same path, so I will build the bridge.”
“If you say yes, we would be grateful.”
“The Mo Yong family will still help the Murim Alliance. Also, the only people going to the Gangseo Alliance are me and Eonjabang, so there will be no vacuum in the power of the Murim Alliance.”
Furthermore, Prince Moyong himself cannot use the Gangseo Alliance to plan bad things carelessly. Concentrating the power of the Sega into the Murim Alliance also means that Moyongse itself will be held hostage.
Zhuge Liang was able to know Mo Yong’s will. Furthermore, his determination.
Mo Yong-gun stood up with both hands raised.
“It is quite late. “I was trying to leave without anyone noticing, but I felt relieved to at least have a conversation with the military.”
Zhuge Wenhu said with a smile.
“If you hadn’t had this conversation with me, you wouldn’t have been able to leave the castle. “I would have doubted its true intentions.”
“You don’t doubt it now, do you?”
“I decided to give it a try. “The messenger of death from the Murim Alliance will go anyway.”
Moyong-gun snorted.
“If you don’t let go of that soft sensibility, you’ll get hurt a lot someday.”
“I guess so.”
“I tried to sneak out, but since you’re here now, let me ask you a favor.”
“I will speak separately to the workers.”
“As expected, you are smart. “I just don’t like people sitting in the middle like a love song and just wasting time talking nonsense.”
“Thanks to you, I will take all the criticism.”
“You’re used to being criticized now, right?”
“haha.”
Moyong-gun, who was carrying his luggage, pointed to the liquor bottle with his chin.
“You can eat everything that’s left.”
“Moyonggaju.”
“Please speak.”
“…I hope to see you again soon.”
Moyong-gun smiled and opened the door and went out.
Zhuge Munho, who was left alone, sighed softly.
The amount of snow that had been pouring down seemed to have decreased slightly.
After leaving the Cheongryong Gate, the eastern gate of the Murim Alliance, Moyonggun walked for a while and climbed up a small peak.
Prince Moryong, standing at the top of the peak, looked back at the Murim Alliance.
The scenery of the Murimmaeng in the dark and snowy early morning was truly exquisite. I wondered if there was another place that was so big and cool.
“The minister.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
“What a thrilling life it would be to become the owner of such a wonderful world.”
And how tiring life must be with that responsibility.
Prince Moyong’s eyes, who were looking down at the Murim Alliance with a smile, wavered.
“Goodbye.”
To whom are you speaking?
It was unknown. Is this being said to his younger brother, Mo Yong-woo, or to the remaining warriors of the Mo Yong family?
Or is he talking about the Murim League itself?
“I hope we can see each other like this again.”
Grumbling.
Tears flowed from Moyong’s eyes.
With a feeling of regret and regret in his chest, he takes a heavy step forward. The sight of Prince Moyong leaving on his way carrying a small treasured sword on his small luggage was very shabby, not befitting the owner of the Moyong family.
The steps of a giant who gives up his dreams and moves forward in order to grow bigger and not be shabby anymore.
The world was changing.
